Think of a better name...?

[ircmaxell]

PHP-Compiler seems too blah. Perhaps rename to PHPPHP? Or something else more creative?

[BackEndTea]

How about PPHP?
PHP PHP Hypertext Preprocessor

[driusan]

phpc? (I'm not very good at naming either.)

[WyriHaximus]

PHP²

[azjezz]

PAC - PHP AOT Compiler

[optiman]

PHC - PHP HyperCompiler

[gren236]

ComPHiler?

[someniatko]

PHPHP

[wujunze]

PHPHP +1

[tommyknocker]

phpc +1

[na2axl]

Or why not a name which is not directly related to the scope of the project (and then avoid strange strings with a lot of P and H 😋)...

I'm proposing Elephant with a little slogan like The PHP Compiler.

It sounds more elegant to me (like other names, Laravel or Composer to list a few).

Beside this proposition, +1 for ComPHiler by @gren236

@na2axl I agree that, even though phpc reminds me of the old days (e.g. gcc) and is therefore a nice one, it lacks however... Branding. Elephant is clean and winks away at the PHP logo. It's a good find!

I want to make an argument against "Elephant".
We want to make the compiled php as our target. This will save a lot of resources (CO2 and Energy) if we push "php compiled" as a brand.
The future of this project should be that the Wordpress project makes a Issue "Lets go php compiled"
